The traditionally funny lines, the dirties , didn't seem to carry the same old punch. Could it be that embarrassment is no longer a sufficient criterion for humour? Heaven forbid. Any legitimate laughs bestowed on the performance were due to the efforts of John IVliIlington. His antics as the slapstick chief of police gave even the liberated woman a chance to guffaw with the blushing frosh. Jimmy Durante would have dropped a brick but the audience loved him. Dave Murray, cast as the big E establishment, held the show together. As the lovable villain, he completely overshadowed the dubious hero. lf not for Dave's consistancy, the play would have fallen at the seams. The only other actor worth noting was Jim McGregor, playing this year's goon. H is antics and expressions in the background saved many really bad scenes. The musical score of the play deserves honourable mention. lt was a fairiob of lifting and splicing. The band gave a moderately good exhibition and the vocalists made an adequate effort. l offer congratulations to three actors for saving a terrible script and a mediocre Curtain Call. Q Pat Bowser

I 'Nur A .........,.,,mW.NMm Any long-established university is therefore well advised to take a long look at itself from time to time and to do so with the expectation that the laws of inertia will be found to be operating. C.B. Macpherson U. of T. Thus, Look-In '69 took place on Feb. 12 and through a series of seminars and discussion groups, the University of Guelph examined itself. Panels for the seminars included such people as Dr. W.C. Winegard, Patric Watson, Irving Layton, Dr. C.B. Macpherson, Dean M.H.M. MacKinnon and Pauline Jewett while the seminar topics covered Policy Making at a University, Academic Policy and Its Implementation, and The Role of the University. The main purpose - to inform the community and society at large of the possibilities and problems confronting the university, and to stimulate greater involvement of all concerned was fulfilled by this conference. There was an excellent turnout from students and faculty alike as well as a small representation from the residents of the city of Guelph. Many students were impressed by the large turnout of faculty. A great number of problems and ideas were brought into the open leaving everyone with a greater awareness of the problems of the university as well as its possibilities in the years to come.
